Dynamo goalkeeper Arina Taranchenko, a football player whose name is inextricably linked with the formation of our team, celebrates her birthday today.
Arina's path in football began at the age of 11 under the guidance of Natalia Titkova. Before becoming a reliable gate guard, she managed to prove herself in attack, but she found her true calling at the last turn. It was Arina who became the first football player in the history of the Dynamo Football Club to sign a professional contract, and proved by deed that she was worthy of this status.
She has a brilliant season in the Youth League–2022, silver medals and the well-deserved title of the best goalkeeper of the tournament. Arina's successes did not go unnoticed: in the same year she made her debut in the Russian national team. The transition to the Super League level was also triumphant – our goalkeeper played her first match in the elite (against Krylia Sovetov) "to zero".
To date, Arina has already played almost 90 matches for the club and four dozen meetings without conceding goals.
Congratulations to Arina on her birthday and wish her to always remain impenetrable, continue to grow professionally and win as many victories as possible with Dynamo!
